Los Angeles Day 11: California Adventure
For our third day at Disneyland we decided to check out Disney California Adventure. This side was newer than the Disneyland side and had some of the newer Disney products like most of the Pixar and all of the Marvel stuff.
As we were planning on watching the Disney Paint the Night parade that night, we decided to head to the park after lunch and went to visit Maggie's aunt one more time in the morning. We ended up staying there for lunch, with her aunt cooking us a nice vegetarian meal.
We arrived at the park at a good time as they were loading cars into the remaining covered stalls on the parking garage. We explored parts of Disney California Adventure side where Elsy could enjoy the rides, including all of the rides in "a bug's land". I wanted to check out the Guardians of the Galaxy dance off but a technical glitch cut the show short. I thought seeing the actors run off was part of the show until we were told that they would come back at five for another showing.
Unfortunately we were planning to watch Frozen - Live at the Hyperion at five so I never did get to see the dance off, but the Frozen show was quite well done the effects and the singing were very good. I have not seen the movie but I am guessing that I already know the story now, but I'd be willing to watch it with Elsy when she's old enough to appreciate it.
We went on The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure, then the Golden Zephyr ride before grabbing some dinner at Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill and finding a spot for the Disney Paint the Night parade. The parade was quite fun and Elsy stayed up to watch.
As we were close to one of the exit chutes near the start of the parade, we were able to head out to catch the fireworks on our way out of the park. We watched the finale from the parking lot entrance before heading back to the house.
